Color and lighting is interesting but kind of soft from your usual standard.

Tankm and Kross ,

Thanks for viewing .

Yes the image is rather soft due to a combination of factors, back lit, slow shutter speed(1/50 sec), wind buffeting and hand holding.

The ISO and aperture was pushed to ISO 400 and F/10 respectively to cater for the possible softness caused by the back lighting .... guess it was not enough.
